Tantrums Work

You might recall a recent rant where I questioned why I was wasting my time writing stories no one would ever publish. It was a full-on pity party and I was ready to not only chuck my career but my new health-conscious lifestyle, too. Just an all-out downward spiral because of back-to-back rejection letters.

Well, guess what? GUESS! YOU'LL NEVER GUESS!!

Blue Lake Review is publishing one of MY stories in their April 2012 edition!!! It's a young, online journal but definitely the start of my published career, no?

This is so exciting for me AND my story because it's one of my favorites from my MFA Thesis. I won't tell you what it's about or anything- you'll have to wait for April- but just know this: throwing hissy-fits and cursing out the Universe makes a difference!!

*smooches...as a soon-to-be published author*
------------
just be forewarned: my head is humongous right now. if I see you on the street and look down my nose at your peon-ness, you'll know why!

It takes patience my dear. I knew you'd get published one day.

I need to find the copy of the journal who published my story. I know its here somewhere.

Congrats again! Though that hissy fit was so not the reason they published you, it was your talent.

I'm with Smarty go on and TRY to look down your nose at me #slowsinging Son!
